The American Cancer Society welcomes you to Shuck Cancer! While this event has taken place throughout the nation, we are so excited to announce that Shuck Cancer is coming to RI for the first time in 2025! Attendees will enjoy fresh oysters and a variety of delicious foods, sip on wine, beer, and craft cocktails, listen to live music, and enjoy great auction items – all while supporting the fight against cancer. Every dollar raised will go directly towards our mission to support every cancer, every life, through advocacy, discovery, and patient support. In Rhode Island alone, the American Cancer Society estimates 7,480 new cancer cases this year, with 2,110 estimated deaths. The American Cancer Society’s vision is to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We would love for you to join us for our 1st Annual Shuck Cancer event on Thursday, November 6th at Bally’s Twin River Casino! Your support will make a meaningful difference in our effort to save lives and lead the fight for a world without cancer.
As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment.
Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Every cancer. Every life.
